Leeds deny Delph is on his way to Everton in £4m summer swoop
Leeds have denied that Everton are closing in on a £4million deal for teenage sensation Fabian Delph.
The 19-year-old England under-21 midfielder helped take Leeds to the League One play-offs and said he wanted to stay at Elland Road if they gained promotion.
But following their failure to get past Millwall in the semi-finals, Delph is expected to join Jermain Beckford out of the club.
Beckford, top scorer in the Football League last season with 34 goals, rejected a new contract, and is also expected to join a bigger club.
According to reports in The Mirror, Everton boss David Moyes is set to land Delph after watching him six times last term and sees him as a key man to bring honours to Goodison Park as they bid to break into the top four.
But Leeds chief executive Shaun Harvey has today rejected the claims.
'At this stage of the year speculation is always rife, although it's never helpful,' he said.
'Despite the speculation, there have been no offers for Fab since the end of the season.'
Barclays Premier League champions Manchester United, Fulham and Sunderland had all expressed interest in the Football League's Young Player of the Year who scored six goals in 44 appearances for Leeds.
Delph was also Leeds Young Player of the Season, won the Goal of the Season for his strike against Brighton and was voted Player's Player of the Season.
